George W. Bush Goes Mad, Right Before Our Eyes

The full madness of George W. Bush has been revealed, as new articles describing journalist Bob Woodward’s Plan of Attack are released, and as Bush himself proudly reiterates America’s God-given right to proliferate 'freedom' at gunpoint everwhere on earth.

The book backs up previous accounts of Bush’s determination to make war plans against Iraq immediately after 9/11. According to Woodward, who interviewed more than 75 key officials including Bush, the initial probing towards war with Iraq began in November 2001, when the president met urgently with Defense Secretary Rumsfeld and said, “…let's get started on this.” The next month, the president had General Tommy Franks draw up a hypothetical battle plan. And so the die was cast.

Bush’s war plans intensified during 2002, when the administration’s neocon “cabal” set up the Office of Special Plans to produce “intelligence” on Iraq’s alleged WMD program. The cabal was apparently guided by Vice President Dick Cheney and run by his chief aide, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz and Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Doug Feith.

According to Woodward’s book, Colin Powell- barely on speaking terms with Cheney these days- protested that the vice president had through the OSP set up a parallel government to push the warmongering of the administration’s neoconservatives.

The president’s personal dedication to war had dramatically increased by early 2003:

“‘…we're not winning. Time is not on our side here. Probably going to have to, we're going to have to go to war,’ the book quotes Bush as telling national security adviser Condoleezza Rice in early January 2003.”

Rice’s significance as one of the key antagonists for war emerges in Plan of Attack. Although the position of national security advisor is one of the most important in any administration, Rice’s role was heightened by the president’s awareness that Vice President Dick Cheney and Secretary of State Colin Powell had irreconcilably opposing views on Iraq. Perceiving Rice to be more independent, Bush placed great faith in her opinion which was, unfortunately for peace, pro-neocon.

Do you feel like you're living in some Orwellian nightmare? Or perhaps you feel as if you're plugged into The Matrix? Well if so, you've come to the right place. No matter how messed up you thought the world was, by the time you've finished reading some of the things I've found on my travels in Cyberspace you'll realise that 1984 was just a typo!

A note to the non-ravers out there: codshit is
NOT a derogatory or insulting term and bears no relation in offensiveness to its four-letter cousin, it's a word used to describe the nonsense that people sometimes talk when they are off their heads. To understand what codshit is watch the film Human Traffic.

Comments are welcome, but before you waste perfectly useful energy abusing me please take a moment to reflect on the basic right we all have to express ourselves!

Please remember that I am not telling you what to think or believe, take everything you read here with a large grain of salt!

If you confront the Universe with good intentions in your heart it will reflect that and reward your intent... usually... It just doesn't always do it in the way you expect.

Let there be no doubt that the people of the free world are engaged in a war... In the next few years, we are either going to see the people of the free world rise up against these fascists, now setting the stage for global war, or we are going to see the end of democracy as we know it with martial law the end result.
